Parsons/Cooper Hewitt Graduate
Student Symposium on the History of Design
New York
6-7 April 2017
The challenges faced by vast numbers of
migrants and refugees worldwide—uprooted by war, persecution, or ecological
crises or relocating in search of economic opportunity—are giving rise to
innovative design solutions. Although often urgent, these crises are
unfortunately rarely new. This symposium attempts to take a broader historical
view of the relationship of design and decorative arts to the displacement and
movement of people and populations since the Renaissance.
Papers might consider historical or
contemporary designers or whole populations. The symposium also seeks to
address issues of national and transnational identity as well as anti-immigrant
sentiment.
Proposals are welcome from graduate students at any level in fields such as art history, history of design, design studies, fashion studies, history of the decorative arts, urban studies, cultural anthropology, history of architecture, consumer studies, design and technology, media studies, museum studies, food studies.
